After mooching off the amazing people at the farm for 2 months, it was finally my last night. I was excited to leave and start something new but at the same time sad to leave all the new friends I made and be alone for a while..Sis decided to have a big feast for my last night, and boy was it unreal. All the regular boys came around as well as Steves friend Rob. Sis was in the kitchen for ages so I was really excited for dinner. Mel came too and brought her devil dog Shamus. We all sat around chatting for a while, for the LAST time:(..The boys went to the bottleo to get some piss for the night. When they got back Tommy fired up the barbie and cooked some steak and sausages. Dinner smelled sooo good I couldn't wait! When we went in to get some food it was a mad rush, there was so many people trying to get whatever they could haha. There was so much food though! It was like a weeks worth of yummy dinners all in one night! I piled my plate pretty high as I knew it would be the last night for a while where I got yummy homecooked food. It tasted as good as it smelt to, it was probably the best feed I've had in a long time. And there was dessert too! A giant pavlova. Mmm. After dinner we chatted some more, some people played pool. Watched some TV. It was really sad though, just because I knew I wouldn't get that kind of thing for a long time again, just sitting in a house watching TV with friends. Gordo gave me $100 for the construction work I did on friday though! woohoo!! I also got a great group photo. It seems like theres so many people but looking at everyone, thats just how many people are at the farm on any given night! I'll miss that..they were all so nice to me..:(

So I don't feel like writing about easter in Rainbow right now so I'll just write about today. I went with Sis to Aspley Bowling and Kayla came too, I'll explain who Kayla is in a different entry. I met some super nice people, she is in a bowling league and goes every thursday. It was good, me and Kayla played a couple games and I suck lol. Shes 10 and she almost beat me and we played with bumbers. Was good fun though anyway.

After bowling we came home and soon after that Trudy(Sis's sister) and her family came(Les, Amy;12 and Michael;14). So now Kayla has a friend to play with. Also, another dog came. So now theres 5 dogs here! The usual Bud, Betty and Sid and now Molly and Lucky(Kayla's dog). Tomorrow Chrissy is bringing Twiggy which is the funniest looking dog I've ever seen. I took a picture its so wierd, I'll put it up soon. At about 1 I went with Gordo to do some work! My job for the day was counting all the piles of dirt. May sound easy but when they are giant piles that are spread out all haphazard like it becomes a bit of a challenge. I jumped between the dirt piles..it was good fun. But it was hoooot outside. I counted 458 dirt piles. Thats a lot. They say they will pay me! I said don't be silly after all they've done for me the least I can do is count some dirt..but they insist...so I'm curious to see how much I get! lol.

Now I'm waiting to go to a hockey game!!! Steve has a friend that plays at a rink in Brendale so hes taking me tonight! The games at 9..only 3 more hours wootwoot. Soo we went to the hockey game. It was soo funny! There was no glass on the boards..which is soo dangerous! But most of the players were canadian and europeans. The game was entertaining...soo highscoring though! Final score...15-8 which is so not a hockey score..but the goaltending was pretty lacking...lol. But after the game we met Steves friend and went with him to some random parking lot and all the team went too and they just drank in the parking lot lol it was so strange. But I got to talk to some Canadians which was sweet. We got back to the farm at about midnight.

Monday, Tueday, Wednesday:

hmm, this will be a boring entry. I pretty much only write what I do every day for my own reference, as you can see if you read some previous entries that I forget what happens some days fairly quickly. Monday I don't think I did anything..Oh I went to the shops with Sis and returned my uniform to Jaspas(I quit...hehe).

Tuesday Kayla came! She has a very sad history, her mom and dad were killed in a housefire when she was just a few months old, it was the first time she was ever babysat by her grandma(who is now her mother). Helena(the mother) has a sister, Zoe, who is best friends with Melissa(sis's daughter) and Marie and Joe(the grandparents turned parents) are good friends with sis as well. Sis has been looking after Kayla since she was little and she always comes here on school holidays. Shes really special to everyone here because she was supposed to be in that house with her parents. Anywho, so I was at the shops with Sis again and we saw Kayla, Marie and Joe! So they left Kayla with us and we went grocery shopping. Afterwards we came back and chatted with Marie and Joe for a while. They were going to Phuket at midnight that day and were gunna stick around for a few beers before they left. They are super nice people, soo funny! They run a retirement center/care home up in Marybourough. Mel came over as well and so did Dan. Steven Lewis drove them to the airport later on as well. It was a good dinner tonight too! Steak on the barbie. Yum

Wednesday is a nothing day! I walked around the farm area with Kayla looking for a good tree to make a cubby in. We couldn't really find a good one and at noon the Canucks game was on tv!!! I was soo excited, my sister was at that game too! Too bad it was a bullshit came and the canucks sucked! They lost 4-2, but hey, at least I got to see a game! After I went outside and chatted with everyone for a bit..read Zoo magazine like we always do. Thats a good magazine eh. Its funny. The boys bought some Macca's, like they always do. Dinner was yummy, we had risso's. Yum. I got a phonecall at 3am as well, from my sister telling me she passed her driving test!! Yay!! 3rd times a charm eh linds?

Today was a wierd Saturday. Almost everyone had to work during the day so when I got up it was just Dick and Mel outside instead of the usual 7 or 8 boys. I sat outside and talked to them for a while. Then they left for a bit to go get something from the IGA and came back and took some seats out of an old car thats been sitting at the farm for a while that the boys take parts out of sometimes. Dick took the 2 front seats out and the were going to screw them into the back of the Roodub so they could all fit in it for the trip up to Rainbow next weekend. Later some more people came over..they just kept piling to the farm as usual. Everyone went down to the old car and was looking at it for some reason and then decided it would be a good idea to start smashing it. I can't remember exactly how it started though but it was soo funny. They had a shovel and a hammer and a baseball bat and just started hitting the car. Then one of the windows shattered and it just was downhill from there, even Mel had a turn and she almost did the most damage! It was actually one of the funniest things ever though, I was laughing soo hard.

Later some of us were hungry so we went down to KFC for some food. I went with Andy, Dick, Tommy and Steven Lewis. They started putting chips in the gravy spoon and flicking it around the restaurant and then it escalated to behind the counter and then to actually hitting the chick working, it was soo funny. I kinda felt bad but it was hilarious. When one actually hit her we all fanged. Good lunch..lol.

Tonight was Gilley's birthday party that everyone was going to. We all started at the farm as usual and stayed there till maybe 8-8:30 and then everyone rocked up at the party. Its always funny when we all get there because theres so many people. There was me, Madi, Tim, Dick, Andy, Conway, Hamish, Louie, Macca, Dodd, Tommy..maybe thats it? 11 people at least. Oh Trent and Jess too. 13. We got there and there was actually quite a few people there it was sweet. I saw all the girls and talked to them for a bit. EVERYONE calls me Canada, I actually introduce myself as Canada by accident sometimes. But everyone there was really nice, I met a ton of people. It felt like my first day at the farm because SO many people were asking me questions about Canada and the US and asking me to say words so they could hear my accent. It was awesome.

We stayed there for a bit and then we all left at like..2? 1:30? I have no idea. But as we were leaving someone kicked over an esky by accident and some guy flipped and there was almost a fight and then we all got on the street and there were almost more fights. It was pretty funny, but coulda gotten ugly. We all left though and started walking home. Then everyone got split up somehow and we were walking down a street in Albany Creek and Madi and Tim had to get home fast because they had a flight to catch to Perth in the morning. We saw a taxi coming and they wanted to hail it so Andy ran in the middle of the street trying to get this cab, it was soo funny. Tim, Madi and Dick got in the cab and the rest of us walked. They said the cab was doing trips but we never saw it again.

As we were walking...I think it was me, Tommy, Conway, Andy, Dodd, and Wes? Maybe. But anyway, Conway and Tommy picked up Andy and put him in a shopping cart and pushed him into a curb and he flew into a bush and as this was happening the coppers pulled up and got out of the car. Andy was walking away but they yelled for him to come back, saying 'We don't want to have to chase you'..and they gave us a lecture on being drunk in public. He took down Andy's name and drivers license info and said he could give us all fines. Conway and Tommy said they would take the blame because they picked him up and the put him in the cart and they pushed him but the cop wouldn't hear it. Andy said 'they always pick on me because I'm the little guy' and the cop, who was shorter than Andy said 'I know how you feel man, come stand by me' It was soo funny, and everyone else was still acting like drunken idiots. They told us to walk straight home and someone said 'But we're really drunk and hungry can't we go get Macca's?' He was really pushing our luck but the cops said fine go there then go home. Like that would happen.

We got up to Macca's and there were a bunch of people from the party there, including some of the ones that were fighting with us. And some of the girls were there too. We all ordered our food from the walk thru and the guy working there asked me how I got mixed up with all these boys. One of the other guys I didn't know said 'Don't you feel out of place with all these boys' I was like nah I'm used to it by now lol. Then someone else asked me where all my friends went and I pointed at the boys and he was like what about those girls and I was like nah, I'm not with them. It was pretty funny...he was kind of shocked. Andy and Tommy started walking one direction and me, Conway, Dom and this guy Sam towards the farm. Then Dodd started wrestling some guy, just for fun but then it turned bad when he spat on Dodd and we went back there and there was almost another fight in the maccas parking lot. Andy phoned and said to go to the Night Owl because he was gunna buy a liter of milk, skull it, then spew. We were like sweet lets go watch. But then they never did it. Lame. We were way too tired to walk to the farm so we walked to Andy's house instead. There wasn't a ton of room and I slept on a tiny as couch, Tommy and Andy in the bed and Matt on the floor. Dom and Dodd were in another room. It was a sweet night though, we got home at 4am and the walk home was more eventful than the party.

Monday:

Not a very eventful day I don't think, but Happy St. Patricks Day! Didn't do too much. Gordo wanted Sis to take photos of their job site at Eatons Hill so I tagged along to see what was up. It was pretty sweet, actually I had no idea what was going on it all just looked like a bunch of dirt. To each his own I guess lol. Afterwards went back to the farm and hung out, chatted to Nan for a while. Wrote in my journal. At night some of the boys came over and chatted to them for a while. Sis had told me to tell one of them to clean up the mess that Sid made(the puppy) and I said I'd do it but she said to get one of them...So I asked and they just went off and said no way, that I should do it lol. I knew that would happen. It was funny too, we were sitting outside..me, Andy, Dick, Macca and Nan and talking and whatever and Nan is like 75, in a wheelchair, one arm is paralyzed and she can't move her legs but she is a riot. She was saying that if anyone ever picked on Matt(her grandson) they'd have to get through her first and she was gunna kick their ass if they ever made fun of him. It was hilarious. She also smokes even though shes not supposed to(and she steals ciggies off the boys, its so funny) but she says if a stroke and a kidney failure can't kill her, than neither will smoking. When the rest of the boys got there they told them about the mess Sid made and that I asked them to clean it up and the Macca came up with the idea of job list for me. So he went inside and wrote one out. It was so fucking funny, I laughed so hard, I took pictures of it and you have to read it, hilarious.

Tuesday:

Today was my first day shift at work! Woot. I was still coughing a lot so I wasn't sure how that would go..but I went and it was okay. I don't really like it too much, they're really strict about everything and it stresses me out and I don't like being stressed out! I served a few tables though. I talked to one lady for a while about Canada, it was sweet. But then I started having a coughing attack, it was nuts I couldn't breath..which doesn't look so good to customers eh. So they sent me home at 2:15. Which was alright, it was slowing down anyway. Back home there was a few of Sis's family there so I talked to all them for a while, super nice people. Later on the boys came over and it was puppy school night! I decided to go this time to see what went on here. Dick was sick and Mel had work to do so I went with Matt and Steve Lewis and 2 dogs. It was actually so funny, they are staffy's and they are not well behaved at all compared to the rest of the dogs, they're nuts it was awesome. After puppy school we went and got slushies. They bought one for me on the condition they got to pick the flavors. They thought it was soo funny they picked the most sour flavor and put shitloads of sour stuff in it, but jokes on them because I liked it. We went and dropped Shamus off, then Steve Lewis and then went home.

wednesday:

Today I got a piece of paper in the mail saying I had a package at the post office to be picked up after 4!!! I was soo excited, I had absolutely no idea what it was. I also phoned work and told them I have hooping cough and that I didn't think it would be a good idea for me to work that night, seeing as how its highly contageous. Ohh well. I hung out at the farm all day, the boys came over at like 3ish and I talked with them for a while, at 4:30 we went up to the post office and I got my package, it was from my mommy! I opened it back at the farm, it was a big huge easter egg with candy and makeup in it! And my little brothers hockey card!:) I was soo excited it was awesome. Such a good day. That night was a pretty slow one, just chatted for a while. They boys fixed up the Roodub so it would be ready to go tomorrow night for the drive up to Rainbow. They turned a 5 seater into a 7 seater..thaats legal..

Monday:

another mystery day.

Tuesday:

Found out in the morning that Dick dropped his keys in cement at work so Trent came and got his spares and was gunna drive them out to him and I decided to go for the drive. It was about 40 minutes away, on the south side of the city. It was actually a pretty fun drive...and we were in the most illegal car ever. It wasn't insured, the exhaust was WAY too loud, it was way too low to the ground. Apparently cops hate that car, cant imagine why..But it was a riot to drive in, so fun. On the way back we stopped for food and then went back to the farm to change cars then we went for another little drive to a car shop with Matts car. Then back to the farm. Not a lot else went on today. Matt, Dick and Mel had puppy preschool again. Watched some TV and then went to bed.

Wednesday:

An uneventful day again, didn't do a ton during the day except I prepared for my first shift at Jaspas! I was pretty nervous because I told them I had serving experience which I do not, ooh well..I was able to get a drive from Sis which was awesome. I started at 5:30 and spent the first 30 minutes reading the menu. Then it got really busy! I followed Leigh around the whole not and felt like a bit of an idiot. I managed to fall and burn my arm and get a bruise and break a wine glass on a woman it was sweet. Gordo was able to pick me up from work which was really nice, I got off at 10 and went to bed.

Thursday:

Sam and Andy were here again today! Dick was here too, he was off work and he mowed the lawns and Andy was running around chasing him lol. Then as usual he started to freak out again. But other than that an uneventful day. I went to work at 6 and it was pretty slow so me and my new friend Bec got to leave at 8:45 and she gave me a lift home which was nice. The boys were mostly all still here so I stayed and chatted with them and had some dinner that Sis saved for me and then went to bed.

Friday!!:

I figure I'll leave it with the weeks events because it wasn't tooo eventful an evening. I didnt do much all day and then at 3ish Nat and Macca pulled up and asked if I wanted to go to the pub and I jumped on it and we went down the the Albany Creek pub. We played some pool and had some beers and hung out for a bit. We went outside and put our beers down and then SOMEONE(nat) spilled my beer all over my shirt. Then Dodd came and sat for a while and we went to buy some booze and then went back to the farm but not for very long as we were going to make a night of it at Dodds. We drove up there and started drinking some more. Then Hamish and Louie came and wanted Macca to go with them to get booze(because they're 17) but he said no so I took one for the team and volunteered. We came back and drank some more and hung out, the same thing we always do. Then later on all the girls showed up again for a bit. Then they left after a while. We hung out inside for a while..I beat Steve Lewis up. :D I walked home at like 12:30? maybe I actually have no idea...with Tim, Macca, Louie, and Hamish and I carred my carton of 4X gold with me because I ALWAYS buy a carton, drink half and it goes missing. It took what seemed like forever to get home. But eventually we did. Good night.

I'll get back to you on Thursday...

I remember now! Thursday is the day when Samantha from Peru and her son Andy comes and Sam takes care of Nan while Sis bowls. Shes here at like 9am and Andy is the craziest kid ever! I always look forward to Thursdays because hes so entertaining. He made me carry him around for a while so I did, hes scared shitless of the dogs but always tries to pull their tails when they turn around. So funny. I was carrying him though, and he would point at places and I had to take him there. He pointed at the pool and I said I couldn't take him there and he started to FREAK out so much. It was nuts. I went to put him down and he wouldn't let me but he was still screaming and Steve, Dan and Dick were all watching me and I didn't know what to do. It was a very stressful time for me. But eventually it was okay.

Later on I went to Dans house with him, Dick and Steve to watch a movie. We started to watch National Treasure 2 but it was a really shitty pirated copy that Steve bought in Vietnam so it didnt work and they put a different movie in. SAW 4!! I so did not want to watch it, I had never seen any of those movies...buut we did anyway. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was still sick. Then we went back to the farm and had some chip sandwiches. Then all the boys came over and I chilled out with them for a bit then bed time.

Today I had my trial at Jaspas restaurant in Albany Creek! Woohoo..hopefully they wouldn't cancel it on me again. In the morning me, Dick, Andy and Dodd went to Subway..its 2 footlongs for $9.90! Thats such a good deal. We ate then went back to the farm when all the boys started coming again. They said they were going wakeboarding in Bli Bli again. I got a drive from Sis to Jaspas and there was only one table in there. I met the owner again, James and a girl named Bec who was really nice. I got my uniform and got shown the table numbers and some things about the place and whatnot. There wasn't really anything at all to do because there were no customers so I went home at like 12:45. My first shift was next Wednesday night! Yay I finally found a job after a month of being a bum.

When I got back to the farm the boys were all still there so they had clearly not gone wakeboarding. Didn't do a ton during the day I don't think, just hung out, talked, whatever. I had been talking to the girls from Canada and they were gunna come out at 5ish, stay the night and get a cab to the train station to catch the 5:17am train to the city to catch the 6:00am bus they had to Noosa. Fun stuff. I got a call from them saying they were almost there so Steve Lewis was kind enough to drive to the station with me to get them. Very nice, on the way back we stopped at the bottleo so I could get a carton. We got back and I showed Angela and Amber around a bit then we sat outside talking to everyone. They got the gears for being from Canada, just like I always do, but I did warn them. It was sweet to have back up about how sweet Canada is though. We were supposed to go to Nats at like 6 but didn't actually leave till like 7:30 and then had to go to the IGA to get ice. Caity was working though so we said hello..Macca was driving Tommy's car with me, the girls, and Tommy and the rest of the boys went in the Roodub.

We got there at a bit before 8 and it was just us still. But Nat's house was soo nice. Well, it wasn't the house we were in, it was the party area. There was a gorgeous pool surrounding by big rocks and plants and shit on one side and on the other there was a huge covered deck that you could jump into the pool from. There was a pool table and a ping pong table, couches, a big bar..it was awesome. We got there and started drinking again, we'd already started at the farm as usual. But it was fun, I got some good pictures. Then more people started coming, the girls came later too. Some drink skulling went down as well as some dancing, it was really fun. I met lots of people that night, I feel bad though because I can never remember most of the girls names and they all kind of look the same to me...:S Ohh well..I stopped taking pictures at like 11:30-12ish which is when my drunk started to wear off. I need to start drinking something other than beer, I just don't know what. I'll have to figure that one out. At about midnight a ton of other people showed up that I didn't know so it was wierd. We just kinda chilled out on the couches after that. Conway and Steve Lewis went to maccas and got me a burger which was sweet. I talked to a crazy girl thats in love with one of the boys, Andy. That was really funny. We left the party at maybe 2? Hamish wasn't drinking so he drove everyone home in 2 trips, first me, Angela, Steve Lewis, Dom and Macca...then everyone else. Apparently the 2nd trip was insane, the car had like 10 people I heard.

We got back to the farm and didn't go to bed till like 3am. Angela and Amber had to get up at 4:30...sucks to be them eh. Me, Dodd, Amber and Dick slept in my bed and Angela slept on the floor next to her phone so she wouldn't miss her alarm..I offered her the bed though!

So today I went into the city and met up with Amber and Angela, the 2 girls I travelled with in Melbourne and some other places. I met them at their hostel at about 11 and then we went for lunch. It was nice catching up, I hadn't seen them in like a month. After lunch we wandered around for a bit and then they said they had vouchers to make boomerangs so I decided to join them. It was $40 and you get a sweet boomerang that you draw on and paint. It was actually pretty fun but really hard as I am not very creative. We got there at like noonish and were there for like 4 hours! But it was a great souvenir. The shitty part was that it wasn't dry in time for me to go home! So I felt like the biggest jackass ever and had to walk to Central station and then take the train for 40 minutes carrying this stupid boomerang in a box. So many people stared at me and were like 'Going hunting?' like they were so clever..one person was like 'You know those don't actually work' I said yeah well I'm not actually gunna use it. Some people standing around me laughed, it was sweet. When I was on the train I realized that I got on the express to Caboolture which goes past my stop so I had to get off at Southbank and wait for a new train. Thats like the 3rd time I've done that. But I got back to Strathpine and Steve picked me up with my stupid boomerang.

I got back to the farm and the boys were all there and we sat around at the table for a bit, trying to figure out somewhere to drink as usual before deciding on Andy's. Steve Lewis drove us in 2 trips, first was me, Hamish, Macca and Dodd. I called my friend Angela who was in Brissy at the time and she was probably gunna come out to the farm tomorrow night with Amber. Aaand they all talked to her on the phone and said dumb things. It was a while before the rest of the guys got there. We hung out and drank there for a while, they played some pool. Wrestled on the grass. Then a bunch of girls showed up and took over the table. But they didn't stay long so we sat down again. Macca decided it would be a good idea to skull 6 rum throw downs in honestly like 3 minutes. Turned out actually not to be the best idea.  He spwed not too long after, for obvious reasons. Nat thought he could beat Macca and skull 3 extra drys in a big mug and that turned out not to be such a good idea either. He spewed almost right on the table. Also, 2 of Sis's shot glasses got broken. We got kicked out of Andy's at like midnight because Nat went to Johnny(andy's dads) and woke him up...Johnny apparently said 'Nat. Fuck off' and then he came out and told Andy to get the fuck out. So that meant it was time to goo. Steve Lewis wasn't drinking so he drove some of us and some were walking behind him. Me, Dick, Conway and Steve were in the car and the rest of them wanted to walk, even though its a 7 seater. Who knows why. We got back and decided to watch a movie in Conways room and then everyone else got back and Dodd slept in my bed so I slept in Conways room on the floor with Andy. Who is the biggest blanket hog ever. I woke up so many times with no blankets at all and when I tried to pull some away Andy had like a death grip on them! And the air con was on so it was bloody cold. Oh well..

So I've been sitting here for a while trying to remember what I did today and nothing comes to mind. I'll update later if I can thing of something.

Friday:

Didn't do a ton during the day as usual and at night the same problem they have every weekend came up again...where are we going to drink? Happy is getting pretty annoyed with all the boys(he loves me though haha) so they needed to find somewhere to go. Everyone came to the farm and then we were gunna go to this girl Doms house but then that got cancelled so we went to another girl, Haley,'s house. Some of the guys went ahead but nobody else really wanted to go there so we were gunna go to Wes's but then decided against it because that would be mean. So about half an hour after they left, we went to Haleys in a couple cars. Her house was huge! There was a big gate up front that we had to be let in to. When we got there there was a few people already there, a bunch of girls and a couple guys. But then all these guys showed up and it started getting loud. It was pretty fun though, I always laugh a lot whenever I hang out with them. I talked to the girls there for a bit too, they seemed alright. We all had to be out of there by midnight though, which wasn't too far away. Haleys mom came out and kicked us all out at 12 and there were a couple people not drinking so we drove home. That was pretty much it, typical friday night I guess.

Saturday:

Everyone was hung over as fuck today so I soon found out we would not be going to the Valley:(...I wanted to but noone else did! Well, Tommy did but I wasn't gunna go with just one person. So during the day we went to Wes's house for a while. Played on the trampoline, they went for a swim...were lazy all day pretty much. They did shave Wes's head though..only a number 4. After Wes's we drove back to the farm for a bit to decided where we were gunna drink and then decided it would be Dodd's house. We stayed at the farm for a while, till everyone else got there and then drove up to Dodds. He's got a nice house, lots of property. And the shed has a big bar, a pool table, big screen TV, a fridge, lots of couches. Its a pretty sweet place. Later a bunch of girls showed up and stayed for a bit then left. I drank way more than I should have. Don't remember much of the night...but I do know me and Andy spewed at the same time. Fuun stuff:). I think Dom drove us back to the farm. Pretty sure anyway. Its all a bit blurry. Good night though, I don't think I've drank that much since I got here.

Friday:

We got a lift from the hostel to the transit center in the morning, which was sweet and got there 30 minutes before our bus left. We were all going to Brisbane and this would be our last time together, me and my new European friends. We got into Brisbane at about 10:30? Can't quite remember, but we went our seperate ways. Well, I went my seperate way. Richard told me to talk the Caboolture line to Strathpine which meant nothing to me so I asked some info people who pointed me in the right direction. Now it this entry will be rather sad as no pictures will be involved as my adapter broke and was unable to buy a new one for a few days. So anywho, I carried my shit and got on the right train and was on my way. The ride was like 30-40 minutes and when I got off Richard and Steve picked me up from the train station and took me back to the farm which was nice. They also carried my bags for me, which was a load off. We got to the farm at about noon and immediately they started drinking so I did as well lol. We chatted for a while and then Matt got home followed by a few more of the boys. Me, Hamish, Richard, Andy, Steveo, and Matt took a drive to buy and esky and go to the bottle shop. Hamish got the job of buying the esky and then we went to get the piss(as they say haha). They wrote me a list and I went to the bottle shop to buy it because none of them are 18 yet lol, but we had to go to a couple places because the 1st one didnt have a big enough sambuca bottle or any little bundaberg rums.

Afterwards we went back to the farm and started drinking again. There were a bunch more people there this time. Lets see if I can recall everyones names.         Matt, Richard, Steve, Steve, Hamish, Nat, Tim, Tommy, Andy, Dodd, Macca, Wes, Maddy, and Rob. I think thats everyone? Maybe. By 4:30-5:00 they were all there at the farm ready to drink. The man that owns the farm is Gordo, but everyone calls him Happy because hes so grumpy all the time, he was there for a bit getting mad at everyone for being too loud. There were no parties on that night so we ended up just staying at the farm the whole time. It was really funny, the guys are all hilarious. They were cutting eachothers hair again and fooling around. I went inside for a bit and was talking to Sis and Gordo and their friends when I heard some shit happening outside so I went and Rob was fighting everyone. I really don't know exactly what went on but it sure got everyone riled up and Gordo was not too impressed. But the boys gave him a shot of sambuca and he was okay again haha. It was a really fun night even though all we did was just sit around. Went to bed at like 1:30 maybe?  Can't quite remember...

Saturday:

I woke up today and felt like shit. Had a bad headache and just was not in good shape but went outside at like 10am and they handed me a beer and we started drinking again. Me, Dick, Matt, Macca, Andy and Tommy went out to Brodies for...breakfast? Well we had burgers but whatever. They all paid for mine because they said I was a starving backpacker that couldn't afford to eat, so that was nice. Dick showed me the Dick burger haha, apparently he comes in there so much he created his own burger and orders it so much they lady working there made a button for it. 3 patties of meat with a riblet and bbq sauce. Everyone got the Dick burger except me and Andy, but Brodies was really good anyway. After Brodies we went back to the farm and I had a nap for a bit to try and feel better. Richard woke me up at like 1 and said we were going to the Sunshine Coast. I went with Wes, Richard, Andy, Matt, Hamish, Macca,

Friday!:

Not sure how the day started but I remember it was HOT. very hot. I went to the mall at Strathpine with Sis and applied for some jobs there! Hopefully one of those pulls through...I want more money lol. Went back to the farm and all the boys started showing up as they finished work. There was no parties or anything and not a ton to do and they didn't really want to stay at the farm because Happy was really getting on their case about things so we went to Dodd's house to drink. I had some Carlton's that I split with Sis and we hung out there for a while. Drank a bit, talked a lot, played some pool. Hamish decided to take his clothes off again and they all decided to light his hair on fire again. He's very odd. We stayed there till like 11:30 and then Nat came and drove us all home in the Rudub, which is Andys jackeroo that everyone calls the rudub for some reason. When we got back to the farm we just went to bed pretty much. It was fun though and I took a few pictures...lol

Saturday:

This was supposed to be one of the hottest days of the year, and it was pretty hot..I heard it got up to 41 degrees. In the morning I went to the mall with Andy, Dick and Trent to have some food and so they could buy shirts for their party that night. There was this big invitation only party and some chicks house where there was bouncers and a guest list and shit so I could not attend, oh well. The boys bought their shirts from Cotton On and they all bought matching pink thongs too. They don't try their stuff on before they buy it and Dick ended up with the dankest v neck shirt haha. After the mall we came home and swam in the pool. All the boys came over as usual and Mel and her boyfriend were there too. It was soo hot out so the pool was nice. We swam around for a really long time, and the boys were drowning eachother in the pool. It was really funny. Then we got McDonalds and they all started drinking to get ready for the party. Some of them had a nap even. We sat around the table drinking, well I wasn't, until they all left at 8. Matt said he felt really bad I couldn't go, but it was no big deal, but I hope we can go to the Valley this saturday:). After they left I updated a bunch of photos and stuff on Facebook and here. It was a productive computer night. I got awoken by Macca at 2:30am and then by the rest of them at 4...they were reeeally blind lol. Good day though.

Monday:

Today was my first weekday at the farm. Not too boring actually. I went up to Strathpine mall with Steve and his cousin Dan and bought a new adaptor so I could finally charge my electronics. We went to the video store and Dan bought Accepted and Beerfest. We went back to Dan's house and watched Accepted then went back to the farm. Steve had a lot of preparing to do as he was leaving for Vietnam for 2 weeks on Tuesday at 7am. Instead he just drank a lot of beers and packed in the morning. I could never do that. I hung out with the boys for a bit and watched some TV then went to bed.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday:

These days are all mashed together for me right now, can't remember which day I did what. At one point I took the train into the city and met Marjolein for lunch and some shopping in the city. Pretty much didn't do a ton. Oh, one day I applied for jobs in the Albany Creek area. Haven't heard anything yet. I go on the computer a lot and watch TV a lot and hang out with the boys a lot but nothing else really stick out in my head. I wandered around the farm and took pictures one day. Played some scrabble with Wendy the old lady who lives here. She beat me but only because I let her lol. If anything else exciting comes to mind I'll add it.

Sunday:

Today we got up and hung out at the farm for a bit, went for a little swim, had some beers. It was like 10am and they asked if I wanted a beer and I asked what time it was and they were all like 'You're in Australia who cares what time it is just have a beer!' So I did. After hanging out there for a bit we got told by the neighbours to turn down the music even though it was barely on! Jerks. So we all went to Wes' house. He has a really nice house too, big yard with a pool and a trampoline. We had a few drinks there and then Hamish took his clothes off again and was running around like an idiot lol. He did some naked flips on the trampoline and then put his clothes back on. He's an odd one that guy. We sat around there for a bit before heading back to the farm.

Steve let us watch a movie in his room because it has AC so some of the boys went down to Video Ezy and rented one. They got this movie called Gone. We started watching it and it ended up being about a couple backpackers from Ireland who go to Australia and meet an American guy they travel with for a bit who ends up murdering them! Isn't that nice. They rented it just to scare me but it wasn't that scary or that good of a movie at all so jokes on them. The movie wasn't that long so they went to rent another one and get a feed and when they came back they couldn't find the movie. Turns out Richard left it at the counter of KFC and when they went back to get it it was gone. Idiots. We just watched So You Think You Can Dance. Then like the funniest thing ever happened. Well it might not seem funny typed out but it was. Macca(who is slightly overweight...) was leaving and Steve yells out 'See ya Macca, have a whale of a time'. We all started laughing sooo hard and Macca came back and sat on Steve who then says 'He's attacking me, quick harpoon him'. We were all dying it was so funny. But don't feel bad for Macca hes a proud fat man. After the show everyone left and we pretty much went to bed.
